Comments Thread For: Kovalev Files Protest With NSAC To Make Ward Loss a No-Contest

[kafkod]

what was he doing turning his back hmmm straw man since he wasnt turning his back so why would i respond to that?

why not focus on what actually happened instead of making things up? kov was hurt, was moving around and slipping most the shots ward threw, ward threw 3 low blows, and the fight was stopped. did low blows become legal when a fighter is hurt? is it like the finishing move or something?

Yes. Apparently, a new rule has been introduced which makes it ok to finish an opponent off with low blows if "He was aleady done anyway"

"Kovalev didn't look in any worse shape than Ward"

After reading this I just can't debate this anymore, i'm done.

Kovalev was done, he checked out

Watch the fight again. He turned his back and walked away. Weeks had to tell him to fight on. I'm done with this topic. The end.

Have a good night.

You were never even trying to debate, why not be honest about it?

I've posted about 10 times informatively in this thread about why Ward winning was fair. Kovalev fans just don't want to see the truth. I'm out anyway...

oh you meant after ward hit him with a low blow in round 7. yes thats why he turned his back. because he got hit low. weeks telling him to fight on made no sense because weeks earlier in the fight said the same shot was low so you can understand why kovalev wanted the ref to follow his own instuctions! you are once again blaming the guy being fouled instead of the guy doing the fouling or the ref for his inconsistency. a clearly biased way of seeing things.

you just arent getting the whole point. everything the ref did favored the a-side even if it was illegal. yes the ref told him to fight on but what is the proper thing to say given he was just hit low? no. no it was not. the ref stopped the fight after several low blows.was it the right thing to do? no. no it was not but because the ref did it, its ok in your mind? thats kind of the whole problem. the ref/judges etc...are favoring certain guys and letting them do things they should not. you should be on the side of boxing not on the side of one particular fighter that you like because next time corruption/incompetence like this could come back to hurt the guy you like

they dont want to see the truth says the people denying that they were low blows....who has the vision problems?

or wait your other argument was he wasnt defendign himself cept you leave out because he was hit low and in pain. basically once again saying its ok to do illegal things if you have your opponent in trouble. i dont agree

[daggum]

I wonder what NSAC will say when Ward's lawyers present a video of Kovalev getting rocked, turning his back, and faking low-blows to the ref?

Ward about to give Kovalev his 3rd L

they will probably say oh look he got rocked i guess the fight being stopped on low blows doesnt matter

[kafkod]

he prob meant in the first fight after ward got hurt. but there is no point in debating. you show a picture of ward hitting kovalev way low and the other side just says its not low. its the new trump style of debating. deny deny deny and hope you have a big enough fan base to deny wtih you

Ward was definitely hurt and in bad trouble in the first fight and, through rounds 3 to 6 of the rematch he was starting to look tired and a little ragged, and Kovalev looked like he might be taking over.

Then, in round 7, Ward got his second wind and Kovalev was the one who was looking tired, but he was in no worse shape than Ward had been in till he was hurt by 2 punches to the lower part of his waistband, which Weeks had ruled illegal in round 2.

While he was still hurt by those "borderline" shots, Kovalev was stunned by a punch to the head, but he didn't go down and seemed to have shaken that punch off when Ward threw the rule book out of the window and started blatently punching him below the belt.

I don't know what round it was or if there was low blow. It seemed Kovalev wanted to quit then. I don't know how to make gifs but it was clear Kovalev gave up at that point.
